Apologies - long post.

OK, this is now driving me mad.  I've bought a Freecom 1TB drive with
its own power, which is very nice.  I copied all my music files to it
then attached it directly to the Touch, added it as a USB device and
everything in the garden was rosy.  

Then I got down to adding the rest of my CD collection, ripping about
20 albums.  I ejected the drive from the Touch, re-attached it to my
computer and added the new files.  Then I put the drive back on the
Touch and watched it rescan.  Result - no new music.  All the album
info and artwork is there but no tunes.  It just shows as Empty.

I ejected the drive, reattached it to my PC, rescanned and sure enough,
there's all the music correctly displayed.  I attached from the Touch
and I could see and play all the music.  I thought maybe the rescan
hadn't worked properly on the drive when I had it on the Touch so I
deleted the db files in the Squeezebox cache directory on the drive,
moved it back to the Touch and tried again.  Same result.  All the new
stuff not showing.

Back to the PC, add the drive and sure enough, all the files are there
and will play on the Touch.  Coincidentally, I added an album I'd
downloaded from the internet (all Flac files) and this album shows up
on the Touch.  

So please can someone tell me what's going on?  The reason for the
external drive is so I don't have to have the PC on but at the moment
that's the only way I can get it to work.
